Strawberry and Mixed Green Salad
5 c. mix of baby greens or fresh baby spinach
1 pint strawberries, hulled and quartered (mix in other berries for variety)
½ c. crumbled blue cheese, goat cheese, or feta
½ c. chopped pecans or walnuts, preferably toasted
2 tsp. strawberry jam or fruit spread
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation: To make the vinaigrette, place the strawberry jam in a large bowl and whisk in vinegar until everything is well-mixed. Keep whisking and slowly add in olive oil. Whisk until dressing doesn’t look like it’s separating. Season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, place greens, strawberries, cheese, and nuts. Pour as much dressing as you want over salad mixture and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
